surely they do:thumb_yello: i love james no, i don't think they have any at the moment. but i heard that they're making one? Dan the other half of Glitter Penis shot vid of fans who went to gigs oh thanks, let me keep an eye on that thread then... you know, i'm always too lazy to visit the forum. blame it on this awesome thread by the way, nice new siggie SE

WHATTTT??! it's an ALL AGE event??

wow...Rach you gotta get that mag!! THAT KIMONO LOOK!!! A bigger version would be PERFECT!!! But no, I'm sorry I can't help 'causee I ain't Japanese! I know nothing about that language Only understand some of the Chinese-adapted words on it like "expereince" "this year" "challenge" Btw the MGMT's PICK OF PSYCHEDELIA for Q mag September issue: Funkadelic- Maggot Brain Spacemen 3- How Does It Feel Syd Barrett- Opel Harry Nilsson- Jump Into The Fire Skip Spence- Broken Heart Alice Coltrane- Journey In Satchidananda Giacinto Scelsi- Anahit The Beach Boys- A Day In The Life Of A Tree Disco Inferno- It's A Kid's World Television Personalities- The Painted Word I'm checking out these on youtube now. Frankly haven't heard of any of them before and I don't think I can get the Spacemen 3's song But love The Beach Boys' one!!!

I LOVE LOVE Love Always Remains!!! It gives me strength But somehow I think they themselves would categorise it as one of the karaoke songs they made during college times?? THIS is for practical purpose Oh I can guess those are German, but was too lazy to look up the meaning so "drifting blinding smiles circling" are exactly the same in German and English? Or it's them who only mixed three words in it? Yeah, read it before! He is a fandad pretending he is not I think somewhere in his blog there's the Andrew-on-skating-board picture too! Have you seen it?

Great! I always wanna (sometime I do) shout the "'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW!! BRIAN!! ENO!!!" bit whenever I listen to this song would think of their SNL performance in the meantime too. It's really a classic isn't it? You mean he "high5-ed" the front row audience right? I think lolli mentions this in her huge report as well. They just have a "who f*cking cares" attitude towards Kids Btw if you click the link which Vanessa posted, you'd see the beardy guy's R. Steeve Moore, an American musician. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Stevie_Moore The two other pics! I don't know but I think James' having a sexy face here

Awwwww IF I could, I would definitely fly all the way to Munich to go with you!!! IF the gig is held later, say mid-late Dec, I had a great chance to do so... sigh.... Thanks for the interview! Mystic Bull**** Yes, the dudes are more mature now but they hvn't really changed at all In 2006, friends of Goldwasser and Vanwyngarden at NYU formed the record label Cantora Records to produce MGMT’s short catalog of songs onto an EP. I didn't know that Cantora Records was set up by their friends! May I ask who produced Climbing To New Lows then? Also by Cantora??

Just saw this on bbc's website. Is it from the interview on radio 6 that some of you posted?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11467565 They admit they have started talking about writing new material, but that they'll concentrate properly on it in "January or February" next year. VanWyndgarden hinted that they could return to writing more 'big hits' such as Kids and Time To Pretend from their first album. They initially planned not to release any singles from their second album. "I think playing all over the show you want a track you can play all over the world and just be mindless and the crowd goes crazy. "We have a couple of them but it would be nice to have more," he said. Sarcasm?? Yes... difficult indeed, even though I always stay up late till 2-3am Wow, good for them!! Your kids can form a band themselves I haven't read the NME interview yet (foreign mags need a week to be here:sneaky2:) But it seems NME genuinely like them... I really love the last interview which they were on the cover of that issue. Andrew said something like "I don't understand why I had written a song about a silly eel" Wish I had bought that issue.

Hey!! How are you girls doing?? I was busy with my college work this past weekend and in order to stop my horrible addiction to the Internet, I made a silly pledge that if I still went on any social-networking sites (which somehow included the MFC ), I would forever lose my chances to see MGMT live. Yes, real silly. But I didn't break my vow so hopefully i can go to one of the later gigs Gosh, seems I've missed so much stuffs! Just skimmed throught the last few pages... the VEVO vid still not available outside the US right? Damn it And the livestream!!! I missed it too!! (Despite the fact that even though I was not occupied by work, the time of streaming would be weird to me like 4-5a.m.) Are there any ways to watch it back?? This is SO cool indeed. I could imagine that And Rachel, I think your kids have good taste of music already!! Do they play any instruments?

I listened to many PW's oldies on youtube today and gosh, they are absolutely beautiful and amazing! I really think that BEAUTIFUL is the right word to describe every song of Patrick's. Anyone still around here?? Any news about the album? It's October already

This thread is flourishing! From that article... I share Ben's observations about the difficulty of staying true to oneself while being thrust into the public eye. I am proud of what Ben has accomplished. I would hope that this pride is totally independent of the commercial success of the band. Fame, particularly in the volatile world of popular music, can be so fleeting. Ben has a commitment to making music he can be proud of, without regard to how that affects the popularity of MGMT. I often think of fame as a sort of dangerous drug, and I worry about its influence on Ben as a caring, compassionate person. So far he seems to be handling it well. It's been almost a year and a half since this article came out. He must be A LOT prouder of his lovely son now. Congratulations has proved everything

HELP!! I'm fangirling mika's Italian article AND the Indie Rokker vid tweeted by Andrew's dad!!! Read the article then watch the vid, then read the article again before watch the vid again..... god feel like a psycho now Writing can really show what and who a person is. I can't help adoring men who've got talent to compose both music and essays

Oh I know, esp. when they are playing 3 more shows in London... but you will get over it!!! Actually it's still unbelievable to me that someone can make a living by gossipping about celebrities It's a pity that he even makes bad comments about Congratulations. I mean, you don't need to be offensive even you ain't into a certain kind of music right? Anyway, I heard that he's doing some music label thing now?? They apologised for FD vid? Or you mean that "sarcastic sorry" of the song?? As fans I don't think we are really entitled to ask him about such personal stuffs. But yeah, his girlfriend!!! Hope she can give Andrew some comfort Btw I never thought that Andrew has a "big chin", I considered that's a "long face" before.

Thanks for your info about those big ups bands girls!! I'll start listening to them later Oh, Ben's Dad is not a public person right? I seldom heard of him. Have you got post-gig depression yet?? Yeah, sense of humour can definitely be inherited! I think he's really really proud of his son but it seems he isn't into the idea of expressing that explicitly Btw Andrew's grandfather has passed away. Hope he and his family are fine. It must be tough Thanks for the link!! Really, the last page made me laugh out I've seen a pic of little Andrew holding his face in his hands. He looks even more pretty there

oh and what means by "big upsSPECTRUM,TAMEIMPALA,VIOLENS,DASRACIST,DEERHUNTER"?? Feeling so stupid right now......

So, this's the real message by Andrew??! He replied to that site exclusively? I still can't believe they'd have taken this so seriously And what can I say? I love his words! He should have a blog or.... a column? Or Bruce Vanwyngarden should definitely hire "that kid" (Btw I have to say I really love to see Mr. Vanwyngarden tweeting about Andrew/MGMT. I see love in those tweets, though sometimes in a quite absurd way ) Oh, the whole thing is started by him???! I didn't know that! I think this explains why we are all here

I know Andrew certainly doesn't look like 27, but isn't 12 is a bit too young? And gosh, thank you for your reports!! I'm not gonna quote any more posts either as you girls have almost said all already I'm glad that you had such a wonderful time! Anything Could Happen! Wow, what a surprise... well, anything could happen I was touched when you said you could feel their passion for music. It is music that really matters in the end isn't it?? I love Congratulations, so love that ever since its release I've been listening to the entire album on repear every day. The lyrics would suddenly come up to my mind like poetry. Andrew's right, it's like "an everlasting Gobstopper" (Okay I quote, hahaha) I agree, unless it's what they want! Actually OS is very good too. It's just the dancey poppy hit singles have overshadowed the others and some lyrics lack that kind of depth one can find in Congratulations. I'm sure if they are gonna make a OS#2, it won't be the same as the first one And if that Jedward bit isn't a joke I think I'll die Btw I know Andrew's a polite guy but from your description I get the impression that he's really quiet? Anyway, can't wait for THE pic too!!! Hehee

I'm listening to their album now and think I'm a little bit in love Not too late, huh? And congratz to the UK, you've got some amazing new voices AGAIN

Oh yes, thank you for reminding me this I really should do so! Jeezzz it's actually PERFECT live!!! You know what until now I still always smile at the "Jason's got the energy he used to be a coke fiend bit". I dunno why and I dun really understand what it means Frankly I haven't listened to every track of Climbing To New Lows... are there ways to download/listen to the whole album? Yeah how can you miss out Congratulations?? Btw I really really love Love Always Remains!! And please allow me to repeat myself, I WANT METANOIA!!!!

Thank you so much girls!! Thank you for the links!! I'm at schoolat the moment and don't have an earphone/headphone with me, will check them out later!! Well, I can say I was usually quite lucky to get close enough to celebs I love in different occasions, but hun, don't you think this a little bit too risky?? Wow, mellody, how come you could find out you got a mention in this thread? THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Actually I found out another option last night. I will go to collect them: Once the purchase is complete, and at your own convenience, you can pick up your tickets at any of the following collection points: up to 72 hours before the show (weekends, festiveness not included) in Kiosks, up to 72 hours before the show (weekends, festiveness not included) in Ticket centres (recommended option) and from to 1 hour before the show in box office at the venue. It's said that I can print out the confirmation page of the transaction, bring my passport and credit card to collect my tix. But I'm a bit confused about the "up to 72 hours" bit... what does that mean? I have to collect it either 72 hours or 1 hour before the show?! Oh I thought they are doing quite well in the entire Europe (the Madrid gig's sold out)

OMG this one's so good!!!!!!!!!!! the Sunday Girl's one is a bit too sluggish for me:naughty: This reminds me that I've never actually heard MGMT doing any songs acoustic... and at the moment I can't find any on youtube either. Have they done any acoustic versions of their songs? By the way, I think I need help! Have you girls ever bought tix for a foreign gig? I want to go to the Spain ones in December and just found that the tix costs €29 while postage for international delivery needs €40???!!! And the Madrid gig is sold out already! Is it ever possible to fetch tix for a sold-out gig and if yes, how? I hope the tix for the Barcelona gig are still available for some time.....

i love randomness, it's where surprises come from I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TOO!!!!!!!!! hope you can meet the band & most importantly, enjoy the music!! oh, and you are going with a MFCer???

OMG it's Fuji Rock!! I wanna cry it's in Japan but I didn't manage to go Do they run the same set list throughout a certain tour like MIKA? The songs that I'm dying to have would be Siberian Breaks & Of Moons, Birds & Monsters

I only bought OS earlier this year too And I really want to have a physical copy of Metanoia now... but the price on ebay scares me Your aspiration sounds great. Good luck and I have faith in you!!! In one of those earliest interview of MGMT, the interviewer doesn't even remember their names! I mean, this is unacceptable isn't it? And it's really important for an interviewer to get the musicians. Perhaps it's beyond the music itself but in my opinion the personalities of musicians go together with the stuffs they write. Very often, some interviews just overlook this part and copy down everything the interviewee(s) say(s) pointlessly... yeahyeahyeah!!! GOGOGO
